Detent pin 6 speed box sticky

[timb2117]

Next bit of begging :) - Ok the box is sticky coming out of 6 and 4. The detent pin above seems to be snug and not wiggle in its housing, to make it easier to come out of gear could I just undo the screw a tad that secures it thereby relieving some of the pressure on the pin? Then if I do that how do I know its got enough pressure so she doesn't keep jumping out of gear? EEKK any help would be awesome and much appreciated.

Different spring rates are available for the five speed box and I guess are also available for the six speed. Speak with Steve perks s p components or road and race...

Thanks ECR I struggled a bit establishing contact with Steve, although everyone treats him as Yodah status :) lots of emails and no phone reply, probably got him at a bad time of day as we're In Australia will try again Monday.

Ok soooo after much angst I gave up on the box its at a specialist:( ! After advice from them the detent pin is not worn and jamming, but some less spring pressure may help, apparently the detents sole job is to keep the gear lever from flopping about under bumps/ cornering, so If I lighten pressure/ spring too much it will be messy.

One other thought is that the knob on the lever is purposely heavy, if I get a carbon knob and ease the spring pressure it will assist with the sticking issue as I will be moving less mass from rest. Although conversely I believe they put a heavy alloy top on the lever to speed the actual shift process. 

Anyhow I plan on changing the slot head locking grub screw for an allen head, then when the box is fitted I will still be able to adjust it if my calculations are wrong....

I guess the moral of the story is quit before you're in too deep. Many thanks though for the good advice and help here.
